90North Ice Consulting AB(Training courses)The company was established and founded in 2010 in Sweden by its owners Jan and Therese Persson. With more then 25 years of experience from many different types of operations in Arctic and ice infested waters we started to develop procedures and risk assessment for different companies when operating in ice covered waters. At same time we started courses for ice breaker officers in the Baltic Sea. One year later this course developed into various courses for shipping companies, oil companies and seismic operations in Arctic waters.

Our aim is to prepare all ship crews and other personnel working in environmentally sensitive areas by tailor fitting of courses prior to operation commencement. We will work closely with our customers to meet their needs and to maintain highest level of safety and cost effectiveness. We cooperate with Linnaeus university and Viking Ice Consultancy.
